Mary Poppins Knows What She's Talking About

Wow, I've been slacking! I guess now that the holidays are over things are slowing down around here. Last week though, EVERYONE was sick. Max caught a stomach bug at Mother's Day Out and passed it on to Connor and I. Shawn got a little bit of it, but not near the impact that the rest of us got. Thankfully, we are on the road to recovery now.

Max also had an ear infection earlier this month. The infection is gone now, but he still has some fluid in his ears so the doctor has him on a regimen of antibiotics for a month. It is supposed to keep another infection from occurring while the fluid finally clears out of his ears. We went through the same thing with Connor and he never got another ear infection so it worked. We are hoping for the same result here. Only problem is Max WILL NOT take the medicine. As soon as you get it in his mouth it goes shooting across the room. Now we are mixing it with chocolate syrup and getting him to take it that way. As they say, "A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down."
